[edit] Impact

Would it be ok to add a section on this article related to the impact of the book. Many people use and praise this book a lot but others really don`t like it and some schools have banned it. The main issue it seems is that some, even here at wikipedia, feel that only the Wheelock way is ok and use it as a base to judge all of Latin. Others reject this out of hand using arguements that Latin was a living language at least until the 1800s and some claim it to still be alive today. Any section that shows these issues will of course need to be very nuetral but as this book does seem to be important enough for English speakers studying Latin as a second Language that it has caused some controversy. Anything that gets recognized enough will I suppose. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.127.251.137 (talk • contribs)

No problem, as long as you provide your sources to avoid conflicts with the no original research policy. Since the Wheelock's is a widely-used book, there may be reviews and articles written about it in various periodicals all over the world, so this should be really easy.
